====== Rethink libdevq ======
  * Student: Edward Huang (<qhua948@auckland.ac.nz>)
  * Mentor:  Jean-Sébastien Pédron (<dumbbell@FreeBsd.org>)

===== Project description =====
Libdevq was written initially to tackle the problem with the implementation of Mesa, as Mesa
depends on udev libraries for some features which are only found on GNU/Linux systems.

This project aims to rethink and redesign libdevq. With greater portability and better APIs, and
if possible, to make devlibq a viable substitute for libudev on *BSD systems.

===== Deliverable =====

Implementation new features:

  * To enumerate devices (video, input, storage, etc.);
  * To query devices to obtain information;
  * To be able to attach global and per-user properties to devices;
  * A udev wrapper on top of this library.

===== Milestones =====

  * May 25: Start of coding
  * June 26-July 3: Mid-term Evaluations
  * August 17: End of coding (soft)
  * August 21 19:00 UTC: End of coding (hard)

===== Test Plan =====

TBD
